Our Urban Cottage

I'm so excited about these new products I'm introducing this month. Japer! (jeans paper) and Jeanvelopes! These are recycled cotton-rag paper made from old jeans! Only about 15-20% cotton-rag as I didn't want the jeans content to be overwhelming, I think the resulting colour is lovely. Also! Petal cards! These are recycled from a mixture of bills and takeaway bags, and the dried flowers are from my garden. They smell delightful! Text is screen printed in acrylic paint. I'm using up what I have for now, but I'm working on finding a more natural and environmentally friendly solution. https://www.instagram.com/p/CpCWRKzPtBn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Absolutely in love with my little stamp that just arrived from @blacklistprints😍😍😍 and the water activated tape from @heapsgoodpackaging works beautifully as a little lable as well. Handmade paper is available in my etsy store (link in bio) do have a little look. https://www.instagram.com/p/CjRtZ1avHP7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This one certainly has some girth. 🌾 https://www.instagram.com/p/CiwXBScvsRu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🍄Found these little guys growing under the orange tree🍄 Weather has been miserable, but at least it's good for mushrooms. Can anyone tell me what they are? https://www.instagram.com/p/CimISS8L-eE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Welcome! Join us in the garden today as we tidy up and prepare for spring. We've planted a lavender hedge, and a small wildflower medow, created a vertical planter, and built a greenhouse kit. Such and exciting time of year!

Friends, I am going cross-eyed looking at my computer screen but I do not think my video is going to be ready on time tonight. I had planned to do a gardening video this week but we've had so much rain it rendered my project... If not impossible, highly impractical. So I changed tack and decided on a quick sewing project, but it didn't turn out quite as quick as I would have liked. So here's a sneak peek. As a treat. https://www.instagram.com/p/Chts3WLvPbS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🌸🌱 Spring is beginning to spring here at our urban cottage and I am so excited for my favourite time of year 🌱🌸 https://www.instagram.com/p/ChRpCPcPDu0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Welcome Friends. This is the ADHD-friendly early-morning routine video noone asked for. I do NOT get along well with mornings, which is exactly why I get up so early. At the time this goes live I'm about a week and a half post-covid and friends I am TIRED. It's been rough, and I haven't been able to work much on my projects. This is a video idea I've been keeping in my back pocket for just such a time. Essentially a piece of fluff that the algorithm will like (hopefully) but I hope you will enjoy a quiet moment of breakfast time ASMR with me, too.

🥖🍞 Attempt number two! I think the last one was a bit too dry, and I think this one was a bit too wet. Better though! 🍞🥖 https://www.instagram.com/p/ChI9RkXPOde/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
